2015-2016 Creighton University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just rejected at 600 pm

This one stung because the admissions guy said I had a good shot at an interview when I called a while back
 
Rejected as well. Might call them again to see if they'll give feedback to improve for the next cycle
 
+10

"...the response to your request for admission is not positive." Yeesh, quite frank. I can only picture people sitting around a table looking at my application and discussing how awful it is.

I saw that they are willing to do that. Someone wrote something about that on another thread that he/she called and CU gave feedback.
 
Can anyone who has interviewed comment on their thoughts on Creighton/the faculty/facilities, etc? Thanks!!

I love the community. It seems very collaborative and supportive, and it seems like people work hard while also managing to do things they enjoy. To me, the community is one of the biggest strengths of Creighton. The faculty seems friendly and willing to help students, so that's also nice. As far as the facilities, the medical school classrooms and labs aren't that nice. I think they are currently shuffling things around and doing some construction on the clinical areas that students will be practicing in, so it's kind of hard to say what that will be like. There are a lot of different facilities to do your rotations in, though, because CHI has a lot of hospitals in the area that you can complete various rotations at. Bergan Mercy is the main one, but there are many others to do rotations at.
 
Alternate Status email received this morning. Interviewed 12/11. I am assuming this is the same as waitlist.
 
Alternate status. Interview 12-11. How does the waitlist work if it isn't ranked?

did they mention when the renovations would be completed?
 
Giving up my interview spot for the end of this month, hope one of you gets it; good luck!
 
1/22 Interviewee. Letters went down late yesterday afternoon. But don't see anything about an invite to a second look day on the portal.
 
Got the acceptance email today. Tuitions costs at Creighton makes this decision so hard!
 
Just withdrew my acceptance to Creighton. I hope it goes to one of you here on SDN!
 
Anyone know if they've been on the early side of releasing decisions? Interviewed on 1/29, and this Friday will be 4 weeks. The wait is killing me...

I heard back about 7 weeks after my interview.

Does the "Day with the Jays" come as an email, or appear on your portal?

Both. You receive an email about it, and they ask you to RSVP in your portal.
 
Anybody else have an acceptance conditional on completion of a physiology course. I'm in my gap year and thought I had a course lined up for the summer, but now I want to travel and am looking for something with more flexibility. Essentially looking for a self-paced online course. Any suggestions?

I also have a conditional acceptance based on the completion of physiology. You have to make sure the online course follows their rules for where you can complete a pre req course.

Sorry if this has been covered already, but what is "Day with the Jays"? I interviewed 1/29 and my letters disappeared Friday. Now my portal has invitations to "Day with the Jays" at Omaha/Phoenix.

Day with the Jays is the accepted student days at Creighton.

Did you get an acceptance email already? Or did you only see a change in the portal?

I just noticed the change on the portal. My letters disappeared when yours did on Friday, but I didn't see the invitation then. As of right now, I'm just looking at it as a reason to be cautiously optimistic before hearing definitively one way or another.
 
Same story -- interviewed on 1/29, as of today my letters are down and I have an invite to Day with the Jays, but no official word from Creighton. Hoping that's a good omen!

I submitted a plan to complete the requirement back in November and it was accepted. I'm just trying to find out if anyone found and got Creighton to accept a particularly flexible plan. Know of anything?

They expect that the new building at Bergan for Creighton M3s and M4s clinical rotations will be ready Fall 2017. So it would be ready in time for everyone currently an M1 and on.

Did your acceptance letter state your acceptance was conditional on completion of a physiology course? I don't see that anywhere in my letter and haven't formally accepted the offer in my portal either. Just being cautious haha

I also had an acceptance contingent upon completion of physiology, but I don't think that was explicitly stated in the email I got. Rather, I think they mentioned it in my acceptance packet. I can't remember if it was in the acceptance packet or later that I got something from them that specifically asked me to submit a plan for how I would complete outstanding requirements.
